We have got over a few humps at work which has seen things settle down for the time being. It is nice to be able to catch my breath there for the first time in months. I am honest enough to admit that I am no candidate for workaholic of the year as whilst I do love to achieve something I also like to be able to sit back for a little while to admire.
Today I ran the bridge but took off the foot off the accelerator and just cruised this run today in 50.50.
I am still having significant problems with my heel and achilles but I am able to run through without that feeling of it getting worse. But at the same time I know it is not getting better. That will require rest. Unfortunately time is not on my side as I face the prospect of running Sydney not as well prepared as I would like. That was always going to be the case anyway with number 2. The positive is that I have taken some pressure off myself and will really just go out to finish and enjoy the day. This year will be number 5 en route to 10 in a row(touch wood).
Canberra left some scars after such a great preparation and I know the next time I have a real tilt at the marathon I am going to have to overcome some mental hurdles. Will leave that until that time arrives.
Meanwhile back at the Fox ranch number 2 had a much better evening awaking only once between 11.00pm and 6.00am. We were both relieved for the little tyke and grateful for a decent nights sleep.
About Me
- silverfox
- I love my family to bits, they mean absolutely everything to me. I am also a total nut for my running, it gives me an incredible amount of joy and rewards in some form everyday. Whether that is in the form of a bouquet or kick up the rump, it never fails to remind how lucky I am to have embraced it.I believe in honesty, humility,hard work and compassion.I despise injustice and believe that good things come to good people.I was brought up on a staple of team sports and firmly believe the values learnt from that environment have served me well in life. However one of the reasons I got into running was to do something for myself.No excuses apart from the limitations you place on yourself.I am competitive but not consumed by it.I run for me.I have never been driven to compete just to beat someone else-ever.I am fortunate to have made many friends through running.I hope some of those were borne of shared commeraderie and good spirit whilst competing. Finally running reminds me daily that you get from life what you put in.
